Definitions

  • USB Universal Serial Bus
  • the USB specification has evolved from its introductory version into versions 3.0 and 3.1. Further, the connectors that are used with USB have been standardized to Type-A, Type-B, and Type-C with micro and mini versions of Type-B connectors also standardized.
  • the device 124 may misinterpret the absence of power at the wall outlet to mean that the wall charger 122 needs to be charged from a battery 128 of the device 124. Since this is the opposite of what is usually desired, the ability to detect such a situation is desirable.
  • the PMIC 204 recalls whether the Vbus was present initially (block 414) as indicated by the condition latch set in block 410. If the Vbus was not present initially, then the PMIC 204 concludes that a Type-C to Type-C connection has been established (block 416). Because there may be an adaptor such as the connector adaptor 142, the PMIC 204 then tests the resistance of the cable (block 418). In an exemplary aspect, the resistance of the cable may be tested as set forth in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2015/0362944 , application serial number 14/303,883, filed June 13, 2014 .
  • the PMIC 204 concludes that a legacy or captive (e.g., a wall charger) cable is being used (block 420).
  • the process 400 then proceeds to process 500 described in Figure 5 below to ascertain what current levels may be used with the legacy or captive cable.
  • Other master and slave devices can be connected to the system bus 608. As illustrated in Figure 6 , these devices can include a memory system 612, one or more input devices 614, one or more output devices 616, one or more network interface devices 618, and one or more display controllers 620, as examples.
  • the input device(s) 614 can include any type of input device, including, but not limited to, input keys, switches, voice processors, etc.
  • the output device(s) 616 can include any type of output device, including, but not limited to, audio, video, other visual indicators, etc.
  • the network interface device(s) 618 can be any devices configured to allow exchange of data to and from a network 622.
